Penguins vs Flyers Game 3 prediction
Penguins vs Flyers best bet: Rickard Rakell Over 0.5 points (-110)
The Pittsburgh Penguins have tilted the ice during Rickard Rakell’s 5-on-5 minutes.
They've controlled 66% of expected goals, 71% of scoring chances, and generated 33 shot attempts through two games with Rakell on the ice, the most of any Penguins forward.
He's also a focal point on the man advantage, where only Evgeni Malkin's had more ice time.
Rakell’s being used in prime offensive situations, and the Penguins are generating chances. Dan Vladar is unlikely to sustain a .954 SV%, and Rakell is a prime candidate to help break through.
